My first sysvinit loaded Vsido-like building attempt on top of Smoothie -the BBQ's recent release-. Still not complete and needing some more polishing, but getting close to it. Running fully smooth and snappy. It idles @ 52 MB for now. Quite impressive! It has my usual tweaks; Faenza & Crunchbang icons, CobiBird GTK, my usual fucking conky (I need to change it. Not very happy after the damned lua switch), my boring tint2, etc... Added most of the Vsido goodies and plan to add some antiX stuff too. All this plus the bbq stuff already into their releases makes a killer arsenal of scripts and tools.
Haven't installed xfce4-terminal or sakura yet. I've replaced xterm for urxvt. I want to force myself to give a good go and learn urxvt for once. With the other two terms on board I would never go through it.
It seems that a systemd-free Debian is still possible, but this thingy has some siduction underneath. Not a big concern whatsoever.

Eager for the next BBQ64 release...
